Traditional ERP Companies Fail to
Meet Needs of Mid-Sized Companies
Consultants Identify Needs --
Solutions Providers Rise to Challenge
A study conducted by UK supply chain
consulting company Bisham Consulting has
clearly indicated that medium sized companies
cannot necessarily meet their supply chain
solutions needs from traditional ERP
providers. As part of an initiative to identify
and meet the needs of these mid-size
companies, Bisham one of the UKs leading
independent supply chain consulting
companies, was called in to identify the need
and build a business case for appropriate
offerings.

by UK supply chain consulting company Bisham
Consulting has clearly indicated that medium sized
companies cannot necessarily meet their supply chain
solutions needs from traditional ERP providers. As
part of an initiative to identify and meet the needs of
these mid-size companies, Bisham one of the UKs
leading independent supply chain consulting
companies, was called in to identify the need and build
a business case for appropriate offerings.
Following the study, five IT solution providers within
the supply chain have come together to offer mid-sized
companies a sensible, practical, cost-efficient supply
chain alternative to the major ERP offerings. The
companies involved are, Deltion, Destiny, DPS,
Fleetwood and RedPrairie, all of whom are market
leaders in their own specialized spheres and they have
formed a strategic alliance to meet these needs.

Martin Williams, Director of Bisham Consulting, who
project directed the study, said, It is obvious that for
many companies, and this is supported by evidence
from many of our own clients, they require a user
friendly and cost effective IT solution for their supply
chain and are struggling to find one. Many have found
that complex ERP offerings are an expensive hammer
to crack a relatively simple walnut."
The demands of cost effectiveness, simplicity,
visibility and customer service are often not met.
Although the major ERP solutions are expensive to
purchase and to implement, they all too often do not
meet the expected cost benefits in the supply chain."

launched at a series of free showcase events -
